Keep in mind a guy signed to the 53 after week 1 is not guaranteed salary so they may want to do that. Yeah I am sure it is going to let him get up to speed without taking a roster spot. I guess I got to get used to we get some of these breaks with players being a great team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Perfect! Beane shored up our OT depth and found us a starting MLB in the last 20 or so hours. Good job, Brandon. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo44 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 minute ago, BarleyNY said: He turns 31 tomorrow and is not a particularly good player. He’s serviceable though. Heck, as of today that might make him the best MLB on the roster. And he’s always seemed to be a good dude - the kind of person you want to root for. last year: 124 tackles 7 TFL 3 sacks 2 Ints What with the above isn't particularly good. Compared to the $18m wonder who had the following for the Bills last year: 102 tackles 1 sack 1 Int 5 4 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 11 minutes ago, AuntieEm said: Well they are posting his priority is winning so this wins on a number of points. He'll have time to learn the defense, they can even rotate the lbs if they all perform well in schemes they run. Read he's good friends with Hyde and Poyer was it? If so, easy to think they discuss various schemes they play in in offseason and might have him up to speed in no time. And easy enough to move players to from ps, though not sure of all the tweaks they may have in place for practice squads. However since to be signed off another PS the player has to agree and a vet knows the grass is not always greener when you chase the $$. Agree still getting used to this getting good players to sign on the PS thing. I do like having a great treat to play around with the roster like this but always does take the player to agree as well. I am guessing will be on the 53 soon enough. Still getting used to being great and having a competent front office to sell these roster games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2Buff Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My bet he gets signed to 53 man roster after Week 1 to avoid guarantee and to lower cap hit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I am glad to see this. I assume we will activate him once he is up to speed, but If someone tries to poach him while he is on the PS, we can move him to the active roster, correct? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But interesting he was open to the PS initially. probably knows it’s temporary until he learns the system and gets acclimated here. great signing. He may not be the best lber but probably the best we can add at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
